Each one appears in the notch when it matters, then folds away when you are done.
Artwork, a scrolling track title, play, pause and seek right in the notch, on a background tinted by the artwork. Works with Music, Spotify, Safari and YouTube in Chrome. A waveform that follows the real audio is optional.
A compact indicator in the notch replaces the large macOS overlay. The F14 and F15 keys of external keyboards work too. Hold Option + Shift for fine steps.
See which Focus mode is on without opening Control Center.
Your next meeting with a countdown to its start. One click joins Zoom, Google Meet, Teams or Webex.
Today's events next to the reminders that are due or overdue. Tick them off right in the notch.
Files received over AirDrop show up in the notch. Open them or show them in Finder; with the experimental file tray on, you can also keep them there.
Temperature, rain over the next 6 hours, sunrise and sunset. Off by default; when you turn it on, your location is rounded to about 1 km.
Plug in or unplug and see the battery level at once. The notch also tells you when the battery runs low and when Low Power Mode is on.
Connect your AirPods and the notch shows a turning 3D icon with the battery of each earbud. The case appears when macOS reports it, usually while the earbuds are in it.
Macs without a notch and external displays get a virtual notch you can resize. Pick the display it lives on; plug in or unplug a screen and it rearranges itself.
Keep the notch pitch black like the hardware, or pick Colorful for a rim of light running around it.
Swipe with two fingers on the trackpad to open or close the notch, or to change tracks.
These features may stop working after a macOS update. They are off by default; turn them on in Settings → Experimental.

Drop files on the notch to keep them close, click to open, then drag them out where you need them.
